Proudly Luo. Proudly Kenyan.
Call me whatever you want, but I will never accept my community being used as a weapon against another Kenyan community.
When did every national crisis suddenly become a Kikuyu problem? Corruption is not Kikuyu. Unemployment is not Kikuyu.
Hunger is not Kikuyu.
The cost of living is not Kikuyu.
Bad governance is not Kikuyu.
So what exactly are we being told? That if Kenya is bleeding, we should blame a tribe instead of those in power?
What did the ordinary Kikuyu who wakes up at dawn to hustle take from you personally?
Did they steal your land? Your education? Your job? Or have we simply been conditioned to direct our anger at fellow citizens while those responsible walk away untouched?
That is how politics of division works. When leaders run out of answers, they look for enemies. When they cannot defend their record, they manufacture tribal battles. They would rather Kenyans fight each other than unite and demand accountability.
Today, some political figures, including a few prominent Luo leaders, are being used to push a narrative that turns legitimate public anger into ethnic hostility. That should concern every Kenyan, regardless of tribe.
A struggling Luo has more in common with a struggling Kikuyu than either has with powerful politicians who benefit from keeping ordinary people divided. The child going to bed hungry in Kisumu is no different from the child going to bed hungry in Nyeri, Eldoret, Kakamega, Mombasa, or Garissa.
We carry the same passport. We sing the same national anthem. We spend the same currency. We bury our loved ones under the same flag.
The moment we start believing another tribe is our enemy, we stop asking the hard questions of those entrusted with leadership. That is exactly what the architects of tribal politics want.
Kenya does not need more tribal anger. Kenya needs justice, accountability, and leaders who unite instead of dividing.
Refuse to be manipulated. Refuse to hate. Refuse to fight another Kenyan for the failures of politicians.
Tribal hatred is not patriotism. It is a trap. Kenya deserves better.
IMPORTANT FOOD FACTS THAT SOUND FAKE BUT ARE TRUE!
1. Ginger works as well as ibuprofen for pain.
Trials put ginger head-to-head with ibuprofen for arthritis and period pain and found no real difference. Same relief, without tearing up your stomach.
2. Cloves have more antioxidants than any food on earth.
More than blueberries, pomegranate, and acai combined. In the biggest antioxidant study ever done, over 3,100 foods, ground cloves came in at number one. A pinch of your tea does more than a shelf of expensive supplements.
3. Moringa leaves have more protein than beef, ounce for ounce, dried.
Dried moringa runs about 25 to 29% protein. Beef is around 26%. And it carries every essential amino acid, more calcium than a glass of milk, and more vitamin A than a carrot. One tablespoon.
4. Dandelion, the weed you rip out of your yard, beats most of the produce in your store.
More beta-carotene than carrots. More calcium than milk. More iron than spinach. Plus compounds that help your liver and kidneys clear out waste.
You've been poisoning it. It's been trying to feed you.
5. Broccoli needs to be chopped and left to sit for 40 minutes before you cook it.
Sulforaphane, one of the most-studied cancer-fighting compounds in any food, only forms once the plant is cut. Cook it whole and you get almost none. Chop it, let it rest, then cook it light. The preparation is the medicine.
6. Oregano holds more antioxidants than most berries, fresh or dried.
In that same study, dried oregano landed in the top five spices on earth. It's full of rosmarinic acid and quercetin, both studied for calming inflammation and fighting off microbes. A teaspoon is working harder than you think.
7. The white pith of a lemon is more medicinal than the juice.
That spongy white layer everyone scrapes off carries hesperidin and naringenin, flavonoids studied for lowering blood pressure, easing inflammation, and protecting your blood vessels. The juice is mostly acid.
Most people throw the medicine in the trash.
8. Turmeric without black pepper is almost a waste.
On its own, only about 5% of curcumin, turmeric's healing compound, actually absorbs. Add black pepper and that jumps by roughly 2,000%.
South Asia has paired the two for thousands of years. They didn't have a lab. They had eyes, and time.
None of this came from a lab. It came from the ground, and from people paying attention. Food was always the medicine. ๐

@Donsarigo The video has exposed our pretentious society.The thievery corporation and corrupt cultural practises are catching up with us through our children.The third eye has exposed how people pretend & assemble to mess up during the day and are wicked people at night sipping champagne.
@georgenjoroge_@KeNHAKenya THE POTHOLES and the Chiromo intersection have been fixed. What is remaining is the westlands roundabout....
We need a seamless Bus Park at Westland Roundabout coupled with a footbridge that drops on both ends of the road.
@georgenjoroge_@parasshahkenya@KeNHAKenya They have made the snurl up deliberately at the Westlands roundabout and the chiromo junction to waste many hours travelling.
KeNHA closed Chiromo Road for months. @KeNHAKenya DG I want you to look at these pictures and explain to Kenyans with a straight face how a road you just repaired has potholes before the paint is even dry.
This is not incompetence.
Incompetence is accidental.
This is deliberate.
You used substandard materials knowing exactly what would happen because the same road will need repair again and the same tender will be issued again and the same people will eat again.
The pothole is not a mistake.
The pothole is your business model. ๐

EPRA has slapped us with three new separate charges: Ksh 3.47/kWh for fuel costs, Ksh 1.23/kWh for forex losses, and a Ksh 0.0154/kWh for a water levy. Together, this adds a punishing Ksh 4.70 to every single unit of electricity with the heavy charges before factored in. This means a 20% to 30% spike above the normal power bills. A family buying Ksh 200 worth of tokens will get 6.4 units today, when that exact same Ksh 200 bought 8 units just last month. How did we, as a country, sit back and allow this economic plunder to happen?
